Cuomo’s Institutional Cover-Ups of Sexual Assaults of the Disabled

Currently, in New York State, by the directive of Governor Andrew Cuomo, almost all reported sexual assaults and rapes of people with disabilities are internally reported to another one of his agencies and disappear; they are covered-up.

The corruption goes to the very top in New York State as staggering numbers of sexual assaults and rapes of women and children with disabilities disappear

Governor Cuomo is operating a criminal enterprise centered on Medicaid fraud, yet it also revolves around a sex cover-up scheme and scandal of epic proportion.”

ALBANY, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, January 11, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The motive is money, lots of money. Federal law US Code 42 Section 15009 says all state and federal Medicaid funds are only to go to programs that are free from abuse and neglect, free from financial exploitation and free from human rights violations. Tragically, all three of these are being violated in New York State with Governor Andrew Cuomo’s full knowledge.

Extremely large numbers of New York State run and privately sub-contracted institutions, mental health facilities and group homes are rampant with physical and sexual abuse, neglect and deaths. Massive amounts of money is billed per disabled person through Medicaid, in most cases 4-5 times or more than what it would cost to take care of an inmate in prison, yet the disabled are being provided unsafe care and services. To date, hardly any safety and abuse prevention measures are in place to stop or prevent the rampant sexual assaults and rapes from happening or to swiftly ensure the capture and prosecutions of these rapists and criminals.

So where is all the money going, if it is not going towards providing safe care and services for our most vulnerable? Outright Medicaid fraud and the theft on a wide-scale basis is the answer as well connected people and entities are enriching themselves. Governor Andrew Cuomo then ensures that most of the severe damages, as a direct result of the fraud and negligence, are covered-up internally, which includes astronomical numbers of sexual assaults and rapes of women and children with disabilities. Governor Cuomo is operating a criminal enterprise centered on Medicaid fraud, yet it also revolves around a sex cover-up scheme and scandal of epic proportion.

The Jonathan Carey Foundation has been doing the investigative research and reporting on these sex cover-up atrocities for years similar to what the Boston Globe has done. Michael Carey, the founder, has worked night and day to bring the truth to light so that precious people with disabilities will finally be protected from these sexual predators and pedophiles. What happened within the Catholic Church pedophile sex cover-up scandal is almost identical to the sexual assault and cover-up scandal within Cuomo’s mental health agencies and group homes for people with disabilities. Our citizens with disabilities are far more vulnerable to sexual assault and rape for a number of reasons, including the fact that many are non-verbal and cannot tell anyone that someone is raping them.

The Oscar award winning movie ‘Spotlight’ reveals how institutional cover-ups happen and how many different groups of people in authority look the other way to protect an institution and countless sexual predators, instead of the rape victims. A shameful, disgusting and outright evil side of people comes to light in this extremely powerful movie, but you must understand the scope of sexual assaults, rapes and cover-ups surrounding people with disabilities that is occurring. Please view this less than 3 minute ‘Spotlight’ movie trailer and understand that Cuomo’s sex cover-up scandal mirrors the Catholic Church pedophile sex cover-up scandal, the same motives, yet different players.

“Without question, sexual assaults and rapes of our most vulnerable women and children with disabilities is an epidemic that can no longer be ignored by Church and government leaders. As the founder of the Jonathan Carey Foundation, I have been shouting this truth from the rooftops for many years. It is time we not only talk about this evil that is occurring on the international level, but that we take dramatic actions to stop this evil and prosecute all sexual predators, as well as everyone that protects and enables them. People that prey on our most vulnerable women and children with disabilities are very sick individuals, they are criminals, and they must be stopped and held accountable to the full extent of the law.” - Michael Carey

NPR has just begun to release their powerful series of investigative reports regarding sexual assaults and rapes of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities that back up the work of Michael Carey and the Jonathan Carey Foundation. NPR claims that federal records reveal that these sexual assaults of the disabled happen seven times more than for any other group of people. The investigative series is titled “Abused and betrayed: people with intellectual disabilities and an epidemic of sexual assault.”

Each investigative news piece from this extremely powerful series has radio clips, please click on the links to listen and learn of the horrors that are going on in the dark behind closed doors.

In this exposé, NPR mentions the same New York State caregiver and pedophile that the Jonathan Carey Foundation has been speaking about for many months. In a nutshell, this man was sexually assaulting and filming at least one disabled boy that he was supposed to be taking care of in a New York State operated group home. Thankfully, he was caught and convicted and will be in jail for a very long time, but this is currently a rarity because usually these sexual predators are purposefully protected from criminal prosecution and from going on the sex abuse registry. Listen to what this pedophile said in his own words;

"The lack of supervision there made it easy to do what I did," DeProspero said in a handwritten affidavit obtained by The Associated Press. "I could have stayed in that house for years and abused him every day without anybody even noticing at all. It was a predator's dream."

This extremely disturbing statement made by this pedophile speaks volumes of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s mental health care system -"It was a predator's dream." The sad fact is that in 2011 the New York Times did a massive investigative reporting series called “Abused and Used”, which Michael Carey convinced the Times to do, which should have catapulted vital reforms. Governor Cuomo, instead, went the exact opposite direction and chose to continue protect the institutional cover-ups, jeopardizing the safety and lives of 1,000,000 New Yorkers with disabilities. The rampant abuse and neglect has only gotten worse because most sexual predators and abusers know they can practically do anything, with anyone, and get away with it.

Governor Cuomo took no emergency actions to immediately protect people with disabilities from being sexually assaulted or raped. Governor Cuomo failed to ensure that all sexual predators that rape our most vulnerable are held accountable following the award winning New York Times “Abused and Used” investigative reporting series that became a runner up for a Pulitzer Prize.

The New York Times Editorial Board two and a half years later blasted Governor Cuomo for refusing to ensure the most basic actions were taken to protect the disabled from sexual assaults, rapes and all types of abuse or premature death.
The New York Times Editorial is titled, “Protecting the Most Vulnerable”.

“Two-and-a-half years ago, The Times reported horrifying abuse of people with developmental disabilities or mental illnesses by state employees, who were rarely punished for it. Gov. Andrew Cuomo promised action. But too little appears to have changed.”

“There is much the governor could do. He could require surveillance cameras in these facilities, just as prisons have them. He could make sure that the police get more involved.”

Of course cameras must be placed in all facilities, group homes and transport vehicles to protect the disabled and of course 911 must be called when a disabled person is raped. No longer can 911 call systems, local police and local courts be bypassed and these sex crimes covered-up. 911 call systems must be immediately called by all mandated reporters regarding all sexual assaults and rapes, as well as obviously all other assault crimes, medical emergencies and deaths.

Currently, in New York State, by the directive of Governor Andrew Cuomo, almost all reported sexual assaults and rapes of people with disabilities are internally reported to another one of his agencies and disappear; they are covered-up. These gross injustices must be stopped and all sexual predators, pedophiles and rapists taking advantage of our most vulnerable must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and finally placed on an international sex abuse registry that easily can be created. Without question, these are discrimination and civil rights matters similar to what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fought against. People with disabilities are equally valuable members in society and can no longer be treated as lower class citizens, unworthy of being protected from sexual assaults and rape or treated as unworthy of immediate 911 emergency assistance and services.

Please do what God puts in your heart to do to help stop these atrocities and please donate to support this vital Civil Rights Movement. Thank you.
